SEL & Music

Social Emotional Learning are very important skills that we work to develop here at Woodside School. The K-4 music program is dedicated to helping the students develop SEL (EQ) skills and reduce performance anxiety that all students have when they prepare and present in a concert.

These songs are to help us remember the definitions and teach us how we can use these skills everyday.

Woodside School Song Wildcats we sing to thee
Woodside is the place to be
We will share our hearts and minds
We will cheer for Woodside
Loyalty to Red and White
Loyalty to Red and White

WES CHANTHey! Get ready!
To be blown away.
Woodside School is here
And we're going all the way.
Ingenuity, empathy, and hope
We're headed for the top.
Resiliency to cope.
WILD CATS can't be stopped!

SEE ME BEAUTIFULSee me beautiful
Look for the best in me
It's what I really am
And all I want to be
It may take some time
It may be hard to find
But see me beautiful
See me beautiful
Each and every day
Could you take a chance
Could you find a way
To see me shining through
In everything I do
And see me beautiful

I THINK YOU’RE WONDERFUL

I think you're wonderful
When somebody says that to me
I feel wonderful, as wonderful can be
It makes me wanna say the same thing to somebody new
And by the way I've been meaning to say
I think you're wonderful, too

When we practice this phrase in the most honest way
And find something special in someone each day
We'll lift up the world one heart at a time
It all starts by saying this one simple line

I think you're wonderful
When somebody says that to me
I feel wonderful, as wonderful can be
It makes me wanna say the same thing to somebody new
And by the way I've been meaning to say
I think you're wonderful, too

When each one of us feels important inside
Loving and giving and glad we're alive
Oh what a difference we'll make in each day
And all because someone decided to say...

I think you're wonderful
When somebody says that to me
I feel wonderful, as wonderful can be
It makes me wanna say the same thing to somebody new
And by the way I've been meaning to say
I think you're wonderful, too

And by the way I've been meaning to say, I think you're wonderful, too

We’re Going to be Friends (Jack Johnson)-

Fall is here, hear the yell

Back to school, ring the bell

Brand new shoes, walking blues

Climb the fence, books and pens

I can tell that we are going to be friends

Yes I can tell that we are going to be friends

Walk with me Suzy Lee

Through the park and by the tree

We can rest upon the ground

And look at all the bugs we’ve found

Safely walk to school without a sound

We safely walk to school without a sound

Well here we are no one else

We walk to school all by ourselves

There’s dirt on our uniforms

From chasing all the ants and worms

We clean up and now it’s time to learn

We clean up and now it’s time to learn

Numbers letters learn to spell

Nouns and books and show and tell

Play time we will throw the ball

Then back to class through the hall

The teacher marks our height against the wall

The teacher marks our height against the wall

And we don’t notice any time pass

Because we don’t notice anything

And we sit side by side in every class

The teacher thinks that I sound funny

But she likes it when you sing

Tonight I’ll dream in my bed

While silly thoughts run through my head

Of the bugs and alphabet

And when I wake tomorrow I’ll bet

That you and I will walk together again

Because I can tell that we are going to be friends

I can tell that we are going to be friends

Empathy Song

I don’t know what it’s like to be you and

I don’t know what you have to go through but

I can try to see the world through your eyes

Put myself in your shoes and Empathize

A: Emphasize?

B: No, no, no. Empathize, not emphasize, …but empathize.

A: Entropy?

B: No, no no. Empathy, not entropy,…but empathy.

A: OH…

Every story has more than oneside

It’s not about what’s wrong or right

Who’s to judge what’s good or bad

What makes me laugh might make you mad

Let’s try to make a deal

We’ll listen to each other and see how the other feels

With empathy we can understand

We can solve our problems and make amends

I don’t know what it’s like to beyou and

I don’t know what you have to go through but

I can try to see the world through your eyes

Put myself in your shoes and Empathize

A: Emphasize?

B: No, no, no. Empathize, not emphasize, …but empathize.

A: Entropy?

B: No, no no. Empathy, not entropy,…but empathy.

A: OH…

Everybody’s got a different point of view

How would I feel if I were you?

Some people think this, some people think that,

I’m telling you empathy is where it’s at

We can solve our problems by talking and listening

Instead of judging we can look at things differently

Write to congress and get them to see

Instead of fighting we can try to use empathy, not entropy, but empathy

I don’t know what it’s like to be you and

I don’t know what you have to go through but

I can try to see the world through your eyes

Put myself in your shoes and Empathize

A: Emphasize?

B: No, no, no. Empathize, not emphasize,…but empathize.

A: Entropy?

B: No, no, no. Empathy, not entropy,…but empathy.

A: OH…

A: not entropy, but empathy

B: (talkin’ ‘bout empathy)

It’s All Right to Cry

Free to Be Foundation, Inc.

It’s all right to cry.
Crying gets the sad out of you.
It’s all right to cry.
It might make you feel better.

Raindrops from your eyes
Washing all the mad out of you.
Raindrops from your eyes.
It might make you feel better.

It’s all right to feel things
Though the feelings can be strange.
Feelings are such real things
And they change and change
And change.

Sad and grumpy
Down in the dumpy
Snuggly huggly
Mean and ugly
Sloppy slappy
Hoppy happy
Change and change and change

It’s all right to know
Feelings come and feelings go.
And it’s all right to cry.

It might make you feel better.

Respect

from BeBop Your Best R. Grammer

If I respect you - and you respect me
And we respect each other
What a world this will be
You'll be glad I'm me - and I'll be glad you're you
‘Cause that's just what folks who respect each other do.

If you let me talk till I'm finished
And I listen when you speak your mind
And we choose our words carefully
We'll hear each other differently
It's one more way respect can be defined.

If I respect you - and you respect me
And we respect each other
What a world this will be
You'll be glad I'm me - and I'll be glad you're you
‘Cause that's just what folks who respect each other do.

When I don't dis what you do
And you let me be who I am
And we don't label anyone
Or pick on others just for fun
We show respect's a word we understand.
If I respect you - and you respect me
And we respect each other
What a world this will be
You'll be glad I'm me - and I'll be glad you're you
‘Cause that's just what folks who respect each other do.‘Cause that's just what folks, just what folks
Just what folks who respect each other do.

Perseverance

from BeBop Your Best Red Grammer

You can't hit a baseball till you learn to swing a bat
Before you do a somersault there's lots of falling flat
If getting good's the question the answer's very clear
To get to where you're going, well, you've got to persevere

So Try, Try, Try, Try, Try, and Try again
Why cry, "Why?", when you can try again
You can help by giving yourself another chance and then...
Whenever it's tough just show ‘em your stuff
And try and try again

You can't play a saxophone until you learn to blow
You can't play a violin until you learn to bow
If getting good's the question the answer's very clear
To get to where you're going, well, you've got to persevere

So Try, Try, Try, Try, Try, and Try again
Why cry, "Why?", when you can try again
You can help by giving yourself another chance and then...
Whenever it's tough just show ‘em your stuff
And try and try again

When you have to practice to make it on the team
Or when you've got some homework that makes you want to scream
You're sure to find that nothin' ever makes you feel as good
As when you finally get it right just like you knew you could... So

Try, Try, Try, Try, Try, and Try again
Why cry, "Why?", when you can try again
You can help by giving yourself another chance and then...
Whenever it's tough just show ‘em your stuff
And try and try again

Whenever it's tough just show ‘em your stuff
And try... and try... a-gain!

WHEN I GET A FEELING

When I get a feeling I try to feel it
I want to know what it is and what it's trying to say
Whether I'm reeling or quietly feeling
It's a part of me, I was made that way

Hello anger,you sure look mad
Hello blues, why you feeling so sad
Anxious, grateful, eager, afraid
These are just a few of the friends I've made
